Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Because we learned that there was a lot of money and grain in Jiangzhou City.

Ren Yuan thought about it.

Yes, Jiangzhou is a place we can take.

So he called Han Tao and Peng Qi over.

"How did your conversation with Commander Qin go, you two militia commanders?"

"Chief Ren, Commander Qin wasn't here just now; it was Deputy Commander Huang Xin who spoke to us."

Peng Qi said.

"However, we did learn quite a bit about Liangshan, and to be honest, I admire what Liangshan did."

"At the very least, compared to the imperial court, Liangshan's approach was more popular with the people."

"You didn't even think of calling us bandits?"

Ren Yuan was somewhat surprised. "Peng Qi, does your title of 'Heavenly Eye General' mean that you can see the situation clearly?"

"If Liangshan was a band of outlaws, then what are those corrupt officials now? Beasts?"

"For so many years, even military officers have not been treated as human beings by those people, let alone ordinary people."

Peng Qi did indeed find the officials in the bureaucracy particularly distasteful, which may also be related to his personal experiences.

Because Peng Qi was from Tokyo and his family had been military families for generations, in Peng Qi's childhood memories, his grandfather and father had been humiliated by civil officials more than once, and each time they could only swallow their anger, which puzzled young Peng Qi greatly.

Why should Grandpa and Dad, who could easily kill those annoying civil officials with a few punches, put up with this?

He only understood when he grew up that those civil officials were all dogs of the government!

They're just bullying their master!

As for military officers, they are not even as good as dogs!

"Commander Peng, from what you're saying, you think Liangshan did the right thing?"

Ren Yuan looked at Peng Qi and decided to give him a chance.

Since we're both using three-pointed knives, even though you're not very good at it, I don't mind teaching you.

“If Peng Qi weren’t a member of the imperial court, I would have joined Liangshan too.”

"Alright! Come on, spread the news of Peng Tuanlian's death in a bit, especially to Yingzhou."

Ren Yuan looked at Peng Qi.

"Well, Commander Peng, now that you're dead and no longer a military officer of the imperial court, do you want to join Liangshan?"

Peng Qi was taken aback at first, then understood Ren Yuan's meaning. He nodded to Ren Yuan and said:

"Thank you, Chieftain. I am willing to join Liangshan."

"Hmph, Old Peng! You're such a spineless coward, surrendering like that!"

Han Tao felt displeased after hearing what Peng Qi and Ren Yuan said, so he went out to stir up trouble.

"Brother Han, do you perhaps intend to serve this kind of court to the death?"

Peng Qi asked.

"Hmph, I eat the king's food, I bear the king's worries, and I am loyal to the king. Although I, Han Tao, am a prisoner, I still have principles."

Han Tao stiffened his neck.

"what do you have?"

Qin Ming lifted the curtain and strode in, first bowing respectfully to Ren Yuan:

"elder brother."

Ren Yuan nodded to him, then asked:

"How is it, Qin Ming? What's it like outside?"

"Don't worry, brother, everything is normal."

Qin Ming had just gone on an inspection tour, and when he returned, he saw Han Tao putting on airs.

So after greeting Ren Yuan, Qin Ming walked over to Han Tao and flicked him on the forehead.

"Han Tao, let me think. Did you take the military examination in the capital back then? The one who ranked sixth in all three events: horsemanship, archery, and long weapons?"

"Commander Qin still remembers me!"

Han Tao was somewhat surprised. He really didn't expect that after all these years, Qin Ming would still remember him!

"Nonsense, I was one of the examiners that year, how could I not remember?"

"But just now outside, Commander Qin, you didn't seem to recognize me?"

Han Tao was somewhat surprised. If Qin Ming had recognized him earlier, he shouldn't be so unfamiliar with him, right?

"Nonsense, we were on opposing sides just now, and it was dark, so there was no time for us to greet you."

Qin Ming clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ren Yuan.

"Brother, Qin Ming dares to ask you for an order today."

"You want me to release Han Tao?"

Ren Yuan immediately guessed Qin Ming's thoughts.

“That’s right, brother. Although this guy’s martial arts skills are average, he has a foul mouth, and he’s a bit stupid, he’s still an old acquaintance of mine. I don’t really want to see him die here.”

Qin Ming said.

"No problem, you can handle it yourself."

Ren Yuan certainly wouldn't refuse Qin Ming's request. Besides, what could Han Tao possibly do?

"Commander Qin, you..."

Han Tao could hardly believe it. Was he really alright? Was this Liangshan chieftain being too casual?

"What do you mean, 'I'? You only just found out I was your examiner? If you don't change your bad temper, you won't even know how you died."

As Qin Ming untied Han Tao, he slapped Han Tao on the head.

"Brother Han, I think you can do what I did and go to Liangshan for a while. Anyway, you don't have a family."

Peng Qi also came to help. He and Han Tao had a good relationship, and they were both from Tokyo. Peng Qi was especially happy to see that Han Tao was not held accountable.

"Chief Ren, I have a question for you!"

After Han Tao was released, he did nothing else but go straight to Ren Yuan and stared directly at him, asking a question.

"You ask."

"I saw that Commander Qin had about three battalions of men just now. Chief Ren, aren't you afraid that Commander Qin will rebel?"

"Do you think I'm Zhao Xiaokun? He's afraid that if a military general takes power, he'll seize his empire. I'm not afraid of that."

Ren Yuan shrugged, indicating that he didn't care at all.

"Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust. Moreover, regardless of whether they are civil or military officials, as long as everyone is of one mind, that's enough!"

Ren Yuan was indeed not afraid. He even felt that only by doing so could he maximize the enthusiasm of the military officers.

After all, the Northern Song Dynasty had lasted for so many years, and the heroic spirit of the predecessors had almost been worn away.

"Then I'll join Liangshan too!"

After hearing this, Han Tao immediately knelt down before Ren Yuan.

"Both Lao Peng and Commander Qin trust and respect you, so I, Han Tao, am also willing to trust you!"

"Please, Chief Ren, take me in!"

"It's a good thing that Han Tuanlian has come to his senses. As for joining my Liangshan, as long as he is sincere, he can join."

Ren Yuan was also secretly pleased. It was just right that the stronghold was short of deputy generals. With Han Tao and Peng Qi coming up the mountain, they could at least solve the immediate problem!

As for the two generals who originally followed him, Huyan Zhuo... well, let's wait until Huyan Zhuo goes up the mountain before we talk about it.

At this time, in the Jiangzhou City prison.

Huang Wenbing was standing in front of the candlestick, wiping his tools.

As a professional judge, Huang Wenbing enjoyed using torture instruments to deal with the people he arrested, and the more perverse the method, the more excited he became.

For example, they would smear honey on the prisoner's body, then tie his limbs and throw him into the mountains so that the bears could have a good meal.

Or strip the prisoners naked and throw them into a pile of rats that have been starving for three days and three nights.

Now, Chao Gai and the others in front of him are all bound hand and foot with ropes and suspended in the prison.

"Huang Wenbing! If you have the guts, give me a quick death! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

The one who said this was Mu Hong, the landlord's silly son, who had a very bad temper. Being held by Huang Wenbing like this made him very unhappy!

"It's okay, keep cursing, you won't be able to curse anymore in a little while."

Huang Wenbing grinned, then picked up a pair of blood-stained pliers from the table and said to Mu Hong:

"Come on, open your mouth, let's pull your tooth!"
